JC Hilderbrand, over at motorcycle-usa.com has got hold, no much better than that, here is an excerpt of the article.When MotoUSA's Editorial Director, Ken Hutchison, showed up for the Parts Unlimited Rocky Mountain 400 ride with his current off road lid, the guys at Z1R were appalled. Refusing to send him out into the wilderness with his roughed-up brain bucket, they graciously offered him the newest mid-level helmet, the Rail Fuel. He spent the next three days gallivanting through the scenic Rocky Mountains with his noggin thoroughly protected from the wind, rain, sleet and snow he encountered. After such, he returned to our home base in southern Oregon where he dragged it from his gearbag, still sweaty, and forced it upon me through editorial coercion. My contribution, as always: the crash test.Head over there and read more about the true test.

I was reading record online today when I noticed an article about an airbrush artist.I am glad that I read the article and saw his paintings.I love Eagles. They depicts the very freedom and nobility I have come to admire in this land. I was glad to read this news article among all those bad news we hear today.Robb Ortel is the artist and Hot Air Graphixx is his studio.Donna Kessler has actually visited the studio for it's Grand opening. And Donna says;"Lou Debrino of Tuxedo was proud to show off the Company 3 Eagle Valley firetruck on which Robb meticulously had applied gold-leaf scrolling and airbrushed a mural of an eagle on the side. Visitors at the grand opening were impressed with the workmanship and detail of the gold-leaf scrolling. The stripping went down the full side of the truck, and where it ended there was an outline of an eagle's head."So if you want to make your Bike or Helmet a unique piece of art, read Donna's article to read about Robb and Visit www.hotairgraphixx.com or Robb at his store on County Route 78 in Middletown to see more of his artwork.
